MORE INFORMATION
In addition to removing the Underline button from the toolbar, Microsoft
added two buttons--Small Capitals and Font Color--to make it easier for
you to change the color of text and to apply the small capitals text
effect.
DESIGN TIP: When you type text on a typewriter, you often underline
titles or text that you want to emphasize. A professional typesetter
replaces underlined text with italic text. Unless you want a typewriter-
like effect, you should use italic text effects instead of underline
formatting.
SYMPTOMS
You cannot apply underline formatting to a selection of text using a
toolbar button in Microsoft Publisher 97 or Microsoft Publisher for
Windows 95. This functionality is different from previous versions of
Publisher in which you could click an Underline button on the Top
toolbar to apply underline formatting.
CAUSE
This functionality was changed based on requests from Publisher users
who indicated that they used the CTRL+U shortcut to apply underline
formatting instead of the Underline button.
RESOLUTION
To underline text in Publisher, use one of the following methods:
Method 1: Use the Shortcut Keys
- Select your text and then press CTRL+U.
-or-
- Press CTRL+U to turn on underline formatting, type your text, and
then press CTRL+U to turn off underline formatting.
Method 2: Use the Character Command on the Format Menu
- Select your text.
- On the Format menu, click Character.
- Under Effects, click to select the underline effect you want to use.
- Click OK.
